  Exploit
Terminology | Dictionary | Explanation

An exploit is a piece of software, a chunk of data, or sequence of commands that takes advantage of a bug, glitch or vulnerability in software in order to get access to this computer. When the exploit is succesfull, the computer hacker can gain control of the computer system to use it for a DDoS attack, or running a ftp-server. Once inside, the hacker might install a backdoor and remote desktop software, so it'll be easy for him to access the system.
